Taoni Sanchez, another example of selective human rights
The Cold War Ended For Some Michael C. Moynihan But not for Cubans. The Miami Herald reports that Cuban blogger Yaoni Sanchez, one of Time's "heroes and pioneers" of 2008, was beaten and detained by the secret police, though fails to mention that her free health care will cover all injures sustained.Lolita Culture
Lolita culture In Japan it is mass-marketed and has wide visibility particularly in the streets of Tokyo and Osaka, on television, in manga (see Paradise Kiss by Ai Yazawa for an example of gothloli inspired manga) and computer games. Outside of Japan it is still a fringe fashion although it has slowly begun to spread to other countries. Gothic Lolita, along with cosplay and other Japanese cultural phenomena, can sometimes be seen at concerts and anime conventions throughout Europe and the United States.Taylor Momsen-Next "it" girl? /Article about her life
The young woman who approached the table by the window at the Pinkberry on Eighth Avenue and 18th street was nervous, breathless. She was sorry to interrupt, sorry to be a bother, she said. It was just that she loved Taylor Momsen so much.BBC (UK) Country Album Review: Brad Paisley - 5th Gear
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/mq9x/ Here in the UK country music has been only made occasionally hip when it comes suffused with real roots credentials (cf: Alison Krauss) or as some kind of precursor to punk attitude (alt country’s roots in acts like Steve Earle or Lyle Lovett) but the real stuff, that sells in gazillions throughout its homeland can be a step too far. Brad Paisley’s 6th album sums this up perfectly. It contains some of the smoothest, slickest and breath-taking playing this side of the Pecos.Today's joke: 22.08.08 [2]
A young punk climbs on a city bus. The kid has spiked hair colored green, yellow and orange. His clothing is a tattered mix of rags, and his legs are partially bare and he has no shoes on.

I sense that the look I selected for the next competition isn't being received with enthusiasm.
So to help you ladies out, I did decided to put some examples of Japanese Street Fashion up and hopefully that inspires you all to do some research and put some really great lists together. I was hoping to have to toss and turn over my decisions...but so far only one person has entered.

Hey girls!~
It has definitely been a very long time since I've posted anything, but I'm getting into the Halloween spirit and wanted to share some faces I did last year (and probably create one or two for this year) to jump on the bandwagon along with all the already-posted great faces. After all, that's what life's all about: options, options, options!!!
This face is kind of a 60's but punked out, with lots of eyeliner and HUGE dramatic lashes, porcelain skin and pearly-pink lips.
Meidcal Horror (jokes)
A nurse was on duty in the emergency room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, 'Keep off the grass.'
